No they don't criticise training. They use the language of road safety, that reinforces the myth that cycling is dangerous and it is not, (driving can be though). The basic premise is all this stuff needs to be done to 'save us'. We don't need saving. We need more people doing what we do. This stuff puts potential cyclists off.
